How to manage minimum losses from delays of flights?


Flights are an inevitable part & parcel of business or even leisure. Hence, understanding flight delays and even cancellations helps.

Managing business travel itineraries are complex and are occasionally nerve-wracking undertakings; flight delays adding to the woes.

If you are travelling on business class flights to Manila (or elsewhere), you have to plough on, regardless of the delays. Here are some simple actions you may undertake to minimize the stress and aggravation of air travel.

  • Book (business class flights to Kuwaitsay)with a credit card that has trip insurance coverage and/or buy travel insurance for security expediting process. Some credit cards offer trip cancellation or trip disruption services.
  • Else a reliable travel agent will advise and arrange for travel insurance.
  • Check to see if your airport has a fast-pass security lane you can book in advance.
  • Using a travel advisor such as Business Flight Shop is the best advice. They are experts who will load you with all the informations regarding traveling and cancellations of business class flights to Dhaka from UK(or to anywhere), compensations that you may receive; other than booking flights, preparing itineraries, etc. You can use your fliers’ rights knowledge as leverage.
  • Book the earliest flight out you can to avoid delays that may happen in the later part of the day. “The first flight of the day is more important now than ever,” says William McGee, an aviation expert and author of the book Attention All Passengers. “
  • Try to book a nonstop instead of a connecting flight even if it means an increased airfare.
  • Fly in a day (or two) early to not miss out on any important event such as business meetings, cruise ship departure, or a marriage; (in case delays happen).
  • Book a backup flight as long as it has no change fee or a generous cancellation policy.
  • Schedule long layovers to pass through customs and security again at the stop-over airport, if you are on international flights.
  • Download the Flight Aware app which tips travellers of any upcoming changes often before the airline does.
  • Check the weather radar and forecasts available on sites and apps. Even if there isn’t a weather issue in the region where you’re traveling, the ripple effect and strains on the system could affect your flight.
  • Check the airport website for possible construction-related delays during the summers- the construction time.
  • Arrive at the airport earlier than usual. Best to arrive early and have some extra time post-security than risk missing your flight waiting in an hours-long check-in or security line. 
  • Book business class flights to Bali (or anywhere else), to be whisked away directly to the aircraft with no delays.
  • Make sure to have one or two days of clothes and essentials on you, in case you get separated from your checked-in luggage.

Departures happen on time most of the time. Associate with agents to help you through these situations. In the event of a problem arising, suggesting strategies for risk management has to be in place that supports business travellers.
